Letters, Lines & Layers
The class will emphasize self-expression through mark making, color and words.
Course Summary
If you have a love of expressing yourself with words as well as paint and color, then this is the class for you. We will work with various writing tools to make writing that may or may not be legible. This asemic writing will act as a visual texture in our paintings. We’ll layer this writing with thin layers of acrylic paints and some linear patterns to form a luscious abstract painting. Once we establish our color story and composition with paint, we will add interest and tonality with oil or chalk pastels and watercolor crayons. The class will emphasize self expression through markmaking, color and words.. Final works may or may not be legible. Supply list will be sent upon registration
Cancellations..... Once you sign up for the class, it is yours. There are no refunds. In VERY extenuating circumstances, a credit towards a future class may be given. If something happens that you will not be able to participate, you will still have all the PDF instructional handouts as well as access to a video of the class.
IMPORTANT REGISTRATION NOTE --> Class size is limited. Payment is required in advance of class. I understand that life gets in the way sometimes. But I am sorry, I cannot refund money unless I can fill your place in class with someone from a waiting list. This may be negotiable in certain emergency circumstances.
